Dark Forest is not self consistent. Ability to travel implies nanotechnology which allows metabolize any resource which deterministically leads to expansion which leads to self-selection for fastest expanders which soon means relativistic expansion which is hard to observe since observation window is short while pre-expansive observers are extinguished. Alernative is that nucleation density is very low and/or (reaching the stage of) travel and expansion is impossible. This is consistent with what we see, so Occam's razor cuts Dark Forest.

To be fair, this already applies to any baseband blob.

Thanks, it is enough for me.

Yes, when I buy books on Amazon it's the dead tree kind.

Yes, KOReader and Librera FD are two applications I use currently.

Best used as ETN then.

I'm limiting myself to only open source applications on the tablets. Strictly nothing from Play Store or Aurora.

No, you could never buy books on Amazon, only rent them. Calibre with DeDRM plugin was a poor way to liberate them, given that formatting in libre formats was often worse than the original.

I stopped doing that and ingnored the Kindle ecosystem in general. I tried a Kobe reader with .epub books from diverse sources but I mostly use tablets (LineageOS and GrapheneOS) to consume content these days. The reader apps are not that great there, sadly.

Just use NFS then.

Oh look, another one who's brain has been melted by propaganda.

That's a very unique fingerprint he's got.

Reluctance to stop dealing with Russia is a single positive in the list.
